This grant, the Railroad Crossing Elimination (RCE) Program, is designed to provide essential funding for projects aimed at enhancing safety and mobility at highway-rail and pathway-rail grade crossings nationwide. Its primary purpose is to support improvements that significantly reduce potential conflicts between road users, pedestrians, and trains, thereby preventing accidents and fatalities. Concurrently, the program seeks to optimize traffic flow and minimize delays caused by train movements, ensuring more efficient transit of people and freight. Eligible projects encompass a range of infrastructure initiatives, including grade separations, signal upgrades, and innovative solutions that create safer and more fluid transportation corridors. This federal initiative is vital for communities committed to upgrading their infrastructure and contributing to a more robust national transportation network.
